Importantly, we will be unveiling our recently commissioned replica pioneer 1911 Cedes Stoll trolleybus, the original of which was the first trolleybus to operate and carry passengers on the streets of Britain (during a series of demonstration runs at West Ham, London) in 1912; it was subsequently demonstrated at Keighley (1913) and then purchased to become Keighley Tramways no.0.

Each day this weekend, all our normal attractions and exhibitions are also open and we are running a selection of trolleybuses for visitors to ride on.

Please be aware that circumstances beyond our control may necessitate the cancellation or closure of any activity, facility or attraction.
